Positiva
Positiva was set up in the UK by Nick Halkes in 1993, after EMI approached him following his work with XL Recordings. It began as a house-focused imprint, with Jason Ellis as director, Dave Lambert in A&R and Kevin Robinson handling promotions.
The label later turned towards mainstream dance music, releasing work by artists including Gorgon City, Martin Solveig, Sub Focus, SG Lewis, Jonas Blue and K Motionz. Positiva has operated under Virgin EMI Records since Universal Music's acquisition of EMI in 2012.
